Systematic model-dependent behaviour of fusion involving weakly bound projectiles ^6,7Li

Many measurements on complete fusion (CF) cross section at above barrier energies involving weakly bound stable projectiles (e.g., ⁶Li, ⁷Li and ⁹Be) show suppression by various degrees compared to theoretical estimates as well as experimental CF cross sections of reactions involving strongly bound projectiles. However, there is no concrete picture at sub-barrier energies. The conclusions based on coupled-channels (CC) calculations using different codes (e.g., FRESCO or CCFULL) may differ as the theoretical models used to calculate fusion are not same. In a recent paper on complete fusion in ⁷Li+¹⁵²Sm system, the fusion cross sections calculated by CCFULL and FRESCO have been shown to be different despite using same bare potential. It was observed that with the inclusion of only inelastic couplings, the results of FRESCO were much closer to the experimental data in the above barrier region, while the CCFULL results overpredict the data over the entire range. To explore the above observation in different systems involving ^6,7Li as projectile, in the present work, a systematic and detailed study has been carried out by means of CC calculations using both FRESCO and CCFULL. The aim is to analyze the differences between the two models of calculations
